Augustus J. C. Hare Autographs, Memorabilia & Collectibles

Augustus J.C. Hare (1834-1904) was an English author, primarily of biographies and a number of ghost stories. His family was often the focus of his writings, with one of her first published works being about his adoptive mother (Memorials of a Quiet Life). He wrote a six volume biography of his own life, titled The Story of My Life. While his biographical writings were very popular, they were sometimes regarded as dull, with his ghost stories often drawing greater public attention. Hare also wrote a number of travel books, compiling quite a few for published John Murray.
